White River High School - TKopechuck Yearbook (Buckley, WA)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1961 volume:

W. SL H. S. PgE EUTj, KOPECHUCK mi ?onecv icC The theme for the 1961 T’Kopechuck, Touring White River High, gives you an inside picture of our school and the activities that take place within it. The character taking this tour is a ghost, but keep in mind that it is actually you. As you will see, this ghost takes a complete tour of White River--the faculty, classes, activities including clubs and organizations, and athletics. In the years to come many changes will take place, but if you will glance in your annual for '61 the symbolical ghost will still remain and so will the memories of the year. It is my hope that you will enjoy this annual and keep it with you always as a memory of your years at White River High School. © a 2 Administration........................ 4 Seniors .............................. 7 Classes ..............................23 Activities............................33 Athletics.............................59 Ads...................................72 4eUHt U Cnatco i SUPERINTENDENT—Mr. Webb PRINCIPAL--Mr. Mellish Although this year's administration was new at planning the program for White River, they advised and guided us through a very successful year. Mr. Webb, the superintendent, stepped admirably into the shoes of his predecessor and turned the various facets of the school into a smooth running organization. He was ably as- sisted by the principal, Mr. Mellish, who, with understanding and discipline, saw that the exuberant spirit of the students was curbed into useful resources. Without the ad- ministration, the school would be lacking the most essential function of any school, that which is the main stay of the student body. The service which the administra- tion has given to us is invaluable and should always be remembered.

Rita Seymour, Student Council Represen ative Eleanor Knapp. Twelve years ago many of the Seniors of 1961 started learning how to work and get along together. Co-operat; was a hard point to achieve but the accomplishment of it began to show when we were in our Freshman year. The class chose Ron Bolton as President. The other officers were Ricky Moulden, Vice-Pres.; Ann Marsh, Sec.-Treas.; Georgia Lochridge, Rep. and A1 Kosko, Calendar Committee Rep. We sponsored our first soc dance and also entere a float in the Homecoming parade that year. This all proved to be very successful and it gave us much encourage ment for the future years. Our Sophomore year began with selecting our officers. They were Dave Williams, Pres.; Marita Stahl, Vice- Pres.; Joan Gentala, Sec.-Treas.; Bill Boyle, Rep.; and All Kosko, Calendar Committee Rep. Our main activity this year was the Sophomore Hop. The theme was Rock Around The Clock. This year many of the class mem- bers entered into new and different activities and Clubs. We made our first year in Senior High a perfect beginnit for future success and fun. In our Junior year Dave Williams was again elected President. Lyn Rose was our Vice-Pres., with Marita Stahl as Sec.-Treas., and Ann Marsh, Rep. This was a very exciting year for our class. It began with receiving our clat rings. The Jr.-Sr. Ball was another highpoint of the year. Lyn Rose was the Co-General Chairman for the dance entitled Harbor Lights. Many of the Juniors contributed their time and talent to this project. The final year of our goal finally arrived. We are Seniors at last! This proved to be the most outstanding ant memorable year for us. Our first activity was going to Tacoma to have our Senior pictures taken. Then we order our pictures, announcements, calling cards, and our caps and gowns. Besides all of the regular activities of the students there were many of the Seniors applying for scholarships. The Seniors participated in almost all of the activities offered. The Jr.-Sr. Ball was held in May this year. Most of the Seniors worked very hard to make this dance as successful as possible since it was their last high school dance. A perfect and most wonderful ending to twelve long years of work was graduation. This was one moment that will stay in the hearts of the Class of 61 forever. “Poem Dear little book, on your page of white, There is something that we would write, Something that we wish to tell, When to our school we say farewell. Four years we spent in White River High, Now the time has come to say goodbye, We have found it is not so. Of course we're glad to graduate, Glad we made it through, But into each heart there has crept an ache, At the thought of leaving you. There's our old assembly room It seems to us like a second home, As the time of leaving has drawn nearer, It seems it has grown dearer. Then we wish to thank our teachers. Both the present and the past, For the lessons they have taught us, The lessons that will last. We also wish to thank them For the patience they have shown, And if we fail in any way, To say the fault's our own. We speak of them with reverence. There was our dear old Doc, Who stood up for the White River School, As solid as a rock. Now that his life is finished. All its pages unrolled, We would build for him were we rich enough, A monument of gold. Next year the old school bell will ring, But we'll not heed its ringing. The Glee Club boys and girls will sing, But we'll not hear their singing. The time has come to say goodbye, And we must be away, And what the future holds for us, There's none of us can say. Mrs. J.

The Junior Class entered the 1960-61 school term with much anticipation and enthusiasm. Leading the class in its activities was the President, Rick Gatto. The year began with the arrival of the long awaited rings. This was the first year that only school rings were purchased which gave the Class of '62 the honor of being the ones to start a new tradition. Entering with zest into money-making projects, the class sponsored a successful dance and sold concessions. The Junior Class has many things to be proud of, but its outstanding contribution is in the scholas- tic field. The Class of '62 has more members in Honor Society than any other class. Five students, Mary Fyda, Deanna Zimbleman, Barbara Goudge, Linda Kleppe, and Ingrid Koch, are in the top 25 7o of the state. Several Juniors are voicing their views in the school's active debate club. The French Club, newest school organization, is composed of chiefly of Juniors. Those Juniors interested in acting were active in both All School Plays. The Juniors are looking forward to a very busy and eventful SENIOR YEAR. B. Anderson M. Argo G. Baker C. Beers W. Berg J.

The Sophomore Class performed creditably as a Senior High class under the able leadership of the officers. Pres., John Martinson; Vice-Pres., Jim Marsh; Sec.-Treas., Sharon Radford; and Rep., Beverly Leach. All the new difficulties faced, such as the responsibility of being an active class were overcome with the guidance of Mr. McGuinness and Mr. Maddux. Two of the class activities included selling concessions and sponsoring a soc dance. One disappointment that occurred was the postponement of the Sophomore Hop, the one big highlight of the year for a Sophomore. This had to be done because of a snow storm. White River High School will have co-operative and well-knit Junior Class next year. Their record is standing proof that this class will succeed in all their endeavors, whether it be to set a good example for the younger generation or to step out into the world as young adults. W.

Zedak 'P'te dtm t Advisor, Mrs. Geldaker Officers: Jim Person, Vice-Pres.; Renee Mihelitch, Sec.-Treas., Marvin Hill, Pres.; and Terri Dieringer, Representative. Advisor, Mr. Wolfe The Freshman Class was the low man on the totem pole, but that didn't stop them from taking an interested and active part in the school's activities. Their activities included sponsoring concessions at games, and holding a sock dance. The three Junior High Cheerleaders, Mary Parkko, Renee Mihelitch, and Dee Dee Grab, led this eager class and all the other Junior High students at the pep assemblies and games. The class officers showed great ability and enthusiasm in leading their class in the right direction. They are: Marvin Hill, President; Jim Person, Vice-President; Renee Mihelitch, Sec.- Treas.; and Terri Dieringer, Class Representative. These leaders and the rest of the Freshman Class were aided and abetted by their advisors, Mrs. Geldaker and Mr. Wolfe. They will take the giant step with determination and great pride. As the years go by and they pick up much more knowledge, they will also pick up the courage to be real leaders of White River High School in the future. Freshmen: FIRST ROW; K. Moulten, D. Bowman, M.

The Eighth Grade entered White River for their first year. Their advisors were Mr. Mariotti, Mr. Blanusa and Miss Partlon. The officers, headed by President Mike Volmer, led the class through a successful year. This class was permitted to take part in plays, assemblies, concerts and games. The boys had a football and basketball team. With much ex- perience gained, these boys will make helpful contributions to our school in the future years. CLASS OFFICERS ADVISORS: B. Buck, M.

This year's annual was produced under the direction of the Editor-in-Chief, Alice Coyne and Asst. Editor, Linda Kleppe. Mr. Wolfe, Annual Advisor, worked very hard to help the staff in any way possible. Taking many of the snap shots was an added duty this year for him. The whole staff worked very hard to make this annual one which will be cherished by the students of W.R.H.S. for years to come. The theme for the annual is Touring White River High. There were always nights when the staff spent many hours after school and well into the night working on the stories and layouts. The Editor and staff sincerely hope that you thoroughly enjoy your 1961 T'KOPECHUCK. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Alice Coyne ANNUAL STAFF: FIRST ROW; P. Rooney, R. Seymour, F. Grab, M. Satterlund, A. Coyne, I.

Because Roberta expressed such a friendly personality, she got full co-operation from her staff. Many students volunteered to help her. Mrs. Rich and Mr. Maddux, the ever-alert advisors, kept the staff on their toes, and an edition of the Hornet came out every two weeks. The Hornet has featured many interesting articles and stories including sport, extra-curricular and classroom activities stories. Although no one had the title of Asst. Editor of the paper this year, several likely candidates from the Junior Class are learning the ropes by helping and listening. Editor: Roberta Schwab HORNET STAFF: I. Koch, B. Parkko, S. Rainey, P.

They must maintain a 3.2 average to be eligible for the Torch Honor in their Senior year. The activities include an initiation of new membei serving refreshments at the Homecoming assembly, selling concessions at games and sponsoring a sock dance. They also hold an annual picnic in the spring. The officers for the 1960-61 school year are Bruce Brewer, President; Linda Kleppe, Vice Presi- dent; and Grace Baker, Sec.-Treas. These are the 10 new members that were admitted to Honor Society for this year. OFFICERS: Grace Baker, Sec.- Treas., Bruce Brewer, President, Linda Kleppe, Vice-President.

It is composed of Class Presidents and Representatives and also Club Presidents. The officers of the council are Dave Williams, President; Gretchen Schodde, Vice-President; and Judi Hulett, Secretary-Treasurer. The Student Council has a voice in all affairs pertaining to clubs, dances, and concessions at the games. It directs club actions in accordance with the Student Body Constitution and okays all new clubs and dissolves old ones. This year the Junior Red Cross Club was organized by the council. The annual S.B.A. Activity Ticket Drive, sponsored by the Student Council to raise money for the athletic fund, was held at the beginning of the school year. Under the Student Council’s supervision, a Back-to-School Dance and the Homecoming Dance were held. STUDENT COUNCIL: FIRST ROW; B. Hyppa, R. Schwab, B. Leach, P. Rooney, S. Rainey, R. Gatto.

The Girls' Club remained an active part of the school life under the able leadership of President Patty Rooney. As in the past, the Girl Club had charge of the Home- coming assembly and the Tolo. Other activities included the annual Big Little Sister Party, the ushering by Girls' Club Usherettes at school social functions and the main- taining of a room for ill students. Another highlight of the year was the Annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. The Girls' Club Installation of officers concluded the year's social festivities. One of the club's money-making projects was selling refreshments at all home football games. A drive to collect MJB coffee bands to obtain an automatic coffee maker for use at these games was also very successful. In all activities of this busy year, the Girls' Club pro- vided excellent opportunities for the girls to develop poise in leadership and service. Decorating the Christmas tree in the main hall at Christmas time was another task of the Girl's Club. Zeola Anderson kept the Scrapbook up to date Rita Seymour, Entertainment Chairman, worked for this school year. very hard on all entertainment throughout the year. 39 Advisor, Mr. Funk In the last few years the Letterman's Club has been very lacks as far as activities were concerned. Because of this lack of interest shown by the boys, the club was almost completely unorganized. As a result of this, there are no officers in this group this year. If this continues in the future years, there will be no club for the boys who work so hard to earn their letters. These letters may be won by participating in any of the school sponsored sports. There are certain requirements which must be met in order to earn these letters. The advisor, Mr. Funk, hopes to build up the spirit among the boys and to make this a real worthwhile and important organization. Lettermans Club: FIRST ROW; R. Gatto, A. Kosko, G. Horton, M.

By then they will have had much experience. Debate Team: FIRST ROW; B. Leach, T. Honsowetz, L. Kleppe, D. Zimbleman, I. Koch. SECOND ROW; W. Bowen, M. Hobson, R. Moulden, P. Giger. This year’s Debate Club increased in size and it also took on more activities. The Debate Club began their year by attending a debate clinic at the University of Puget Sound. While they were there they received back- ground material on the subject and later on they witnessed a debate at Lincoln High School between two top college teams. Besides the usual debate rounds within the league, the members attended four forensic tournaments at various colleges and participated in more than just debate. There were a few brave students who entered into the interpretive reading, exempt and impromtu speaking divisions. The debaters were kept pretty busy throughout the year preparing for their subject which was: Resolved that the United Nations be significantly strengthened. Everyone agreed that the subject was a very controversial, vitally important, and very interesting one. A Round Robin was another event in which White River debated. The results of these placed the schools in their different ratings. “DheuttattcA PLAY CAST: E. Knapp, P. Rooney, D. Bowman, R. Seymour, B. Camp. SECOND ROW; B. Webb, L. Kleppe, L. Rose, E.

ADVISOR: Mr. Gleditzch The White River High School Dramatics Club displayed a new and different flair this year. For one thing, the presentations were performed with a real professional touch due to the work and de- termination of Mr. Gleditzch, the new director. His background speaks very well for him, as he previously headed a drama school in California. The first All-School Play, Fly Away Home, presented on December 16, was a smashing success. The comedy featured a Hollywood mother, Nan Masters (Lyn Rose) and her four independ- ent children, Corey (Ron Lightburn), Linda (Linda Kleppe), Buff (Beverly Camp) and Harman (David Bowman.)

Jim Carter and Pat Rooney supplied the romantic parts opposite the two eldest Masters children. Other minor parts were the housekeeper (Rita Seymour), the Portuguese people (Ron Bolton and Betty Ann Webb) and the Taxi Driver (Bruce Ogston.) The cat, not to be out done by the rest of the cast, stole the show by presenting her unrehearsed antics. The spring All-School Play, directed by Mr. Morelli, assisted by Mr. Gleditzch and Mr. McGuiness as stage crew advisor, will be presented in Mid-April. All in all, one must agree that the dramatics were excellent this year. ADVISOR: Mr. Morelli ?- ?' 4. Mr. Needham, C. Smith, D. Martensen, S. Oles, B. Parkko, J. Doty, G. Nearhood, B. McGehee.

The organization began the year with the annual Green Hand initiation. They successfully entered several of their livestock in shows where they were well represented. Other activities were the annual sock-dance and crown- ing of the new F.F.A. Sweetheart. The group also had a hayride and barndance. Many of the boys entered animals in the Western Washington Fair in Puyallup and came home with several blue ribbons. They held their annual F.F.A. Banquet which was the close to a successful year.

Once you are in this group, you remain in it through your Senior Year. The Usherettes usher for all concerts, plays, any special assemblies, such as Homecoming, and also for graduation. You will always be greeted warmly by these girls. The Stage and Projection Crew has been very busy this year because of so many activities. They are in charge of making props for the plays, managing the stage curtains and microphones for plays, skits, and assemblies. The operation of the scoreboards, announcing systems, and lights at athletic activities was the work of the crew. Mr. McGuiness was the supervisor for this. Mr. Ross supervised the showing of films, another job of this group. Stage and Projection Crew: FIRST ROW; R. Lightbum, R. Talley, M. Chesley, J. Bock, A. Kosko. SECOND ROW; D. Lykstad, G.

Starting in the fall, the sports offered included horseshoes, soccer, and archery. The trampoline was also put to use. Deanna Zimbleman made like Robin Hood and took the archery championship. 4-Year Letter Winners: Marlene Heddrick, Sue Rainey, Shirley Melton, Alice Coyne, Joanne Hahto, Ann Marsh. G.A.A.

Basketball and bowling followed next. The Senior II team took first place in basketball and Zeola Anderson’s 156 topped the bowling scores. Ping pong, badminton and volleyball were played during the winter with softball finishing the year in the spring. G.A.A. held a soc dance and sponsored the Basketball Queen, who was chosen by the players. On February 3, 1961, the tumbling team, a sub- division of G.A.A., gave a fine and athletic perform- ance during half-time at the game. This group was under the guidance of Patty Rooney. MANAGERS: R.

Like in the past years, seven girls gave up their study hall to lend a helping hand to Mr. Mellish and Mrs. Baumgardner. The girls receive good training and experience that will be very valuable to them if they should ever work in an office in the future. In the course of a day the girls check roll, file excuse slips, and run errands. The office girls help to make things run as smoothly as possible in the office. They are really a big help to the office staff. The library has an enthusiastic group of students under the supervision of Mrs. Rich. They were chosen on the basis of grades, citizenship, courtesy, and co-operation. Their regular duties consist of charging and shelving books, caring for periodicals, processing new books for circulation, filing in the card catalog, and helping fellow students use material more readily. This year they have added to their services the preparation of the new books for the Wilkeson School Library. Librarians: FIRST ROW; S. Pariari, E. Solar, R. Schwab. SECOND ROW; S. Dziedzic, M.

The band, under the direction of Mr. Jordan and Student Director, Jo Hahto, brought many pleasant memories for the students of White River High and for the citizens of our community by presenting concerts, attending competition festivals with other schools, and showing great enthusiasm in everything they did in the past year. Each year, White River loses many good musicians but they also gain new ones who work hard to keep the band up to its previous performance level.

This year the Chorus, also directed by Mr. Jordon, was composed of 30 members. These students worked very hard together to present music which would be enjoyed by all. They performed at concerts and also at a contest. At Christmas the Chorus caroled through the halls at White River to promote the Christmas spirit. The group sings many types of music, but their favorite is Sacred music. The public seems to enjoy their music because of the many compliments they have made to the Chorus members. 51 CHORUS ACCOMPANYIST: Pat Rooney h.-S x.

Entertainment for the evening was provided by the Senior Trio, consisting of Shirley Maras, Patty Rooney, and Alice Coyne. This dance, a successful joint project for the Junior and Senior Classes, was the result of hard work and good co-operation from the various committee members.

Advise and supervision were offered by the four wonderfully patient advisors; Mrs. Rich, Mr. Sambila, Mrs. Spithill and Mr. Ross. The annual ball is one that will always be remem- bered by many persons.

SECOND ROW; Gary Horton, Dwight Partin, Ken Kosko, John Kacer. The theme for this year's Homecoming, held on October 14, 1960, was Autumn Serenade. This was carried out very well in the auditorium for the afternoon assembly and in the gymnasium for the dance. The theme was quite different from any previous White River Homecoming theme. The colors used for decorating were brown, orange, light and dark yellow and red. The highlight of the afternoon assembly was when John Kacer and Shirley Maras were crowned King and Queen to reign over the Homecoming festivities. Dwight Partin and Patty Rooney were crowned as Prince and Princess. The crowning was done by last year's royalty. Guest speaker for the assembly was a 1954 grad, Charlotte Ranch. The entire audience was delighted to hear of her many experiences in her career and also in her years at White River High. After a disappointing Homecoming game in which Peninsula was victorious, the Homecoming Dance was held. The gymnasium was very beautifully decorated under the able Chairmanship of Gretchen Schodde. Everyone must agree that this Homecoming was one that will not be forgotten for many years. 55 Here Frank Streepy is about to tackle one of Peninsula's speedy players. The Homecoming Royalty take time out from their dancing to pose for a picture. SofeAoftuvie Mr. Maddux. The Sophomores had plenty of misfortune concerning their first big dance, the Sophomore Hop. With Beverly Leach chosen as General Chair- man, the hop was scheduled to be held on November 23. The theme, Harvest Holiday, was to be carried out by using autumn colors and other fall scenery. Because of a snow storm, school was closed and this in turn caused a cancellation of the hop. The class chose the second date for the hop to be March 24. Because of a change in the season, the theme also had to be changed. The choice made by the class was Sophomore Hit Parade, and it was carried out in yellow, lavender, pink and white. Beverly received excellent co-operation and help from her classmates. Despite the delay, everyone had an exciting time dancing to the music at the Sophomore Hit Parade. Bev, John and Sharon get together to plan many of the details for the dance. CHAIRMEN: B. Leach, J. Torgerson, S. Radford, M. Hobson, T. Kuranko, D. Podalak, J. Webster. 56 OFFICERS: Pres. Zeola Anderson, Vice Pres. Mary Beth Jones. This year, as before, lights could be seen on Thursday night in the gym as the Drill Team practiced their intricate routines. With 15 new girls added to the group, the captain, Zeola Anderson, and advisor, Mrs. Geldaker, had to put forth a lot of hard work in order to better the team. The girls marched at three basketball and three football games and they always presented snappy and clever shows. One vari- ation in their usual style was displayed during the Christmas time. The girls wore semi-formals and their routine was presented as a dance. Among the many duties of the Drill Team are ushering at home games and wrestling matches, making signs to notify the students of home games and attending all such games to help promote school spirit.

The Hornet Football team for the 1960-61 season was placed in the new Seamount League. This league consists of six other schools which are all larger than White River. The struggling Hornets won only one game during the season. Since this win was against a non-league competitor, Tahoma, it was not tallied in the league standings. The team was handicapped by size and by inexperience, the last being the toughest problem faced by Coach Funk. There were only ten Seniors on the line up and very few of them saw much action on the gridiron. There were many Juniors and a few Sophomores on the team. The Annual Football Banquet was held on December 7. The following awards were announced at this time: Coaches Award, Gary Johnson; Tackling Award, Ron Miller; Honorary Captain's Award, Dave Williams; and Blocking Award, Carl Smith. The winners of these awards were all Seniors with only one exception and that was Ron Miller, a Sophomore. Although the Hornets had much bad luck this year, they never quit trying. Another factor which brought them much praise was their good sportsmanship on the field. With more experience behind them, the ever-determined Hornets hope to come back next year and make a big improvement over the 1960-61 season's standings. 62 Ken Kosko catches a touch down pass.

The Hornet team only had one returning letterman, Dave Williams. This, in itself, was a great handicap to the team. To make matters worse, Dave was out of play for the first part of the season because of a back injury. The starting line up usually included Sophomore, Ted Collins; Juniors, Joe Kolisch and Ken Hoylan; and Seniors, John Kacer and Dave Williams. Since there were no definite starters, John Riley, Gary Horton and Dwight Partin were often named to start. As the season progressed the hopeful Hornets improved. Their list of Games Won was short but you can be sure that the team gained much valuable experience. Next year the Hornets will be able to give their opponents a better struggle than they did this year. There will be some sharp-shooters from this year's J.V. team playing on the Varsity team next year. J. V. TEAM: FIRST ROW; M. Fugate, J. DeLisa, J. Borell, W. Foster, F. Streepy. SECOND ROW; L.

Dave was ready to take the shot but he was closely checked by the opposing players. 0 N A P 0 Just a glimpse of the check made by Joe at North Thruston. Ken seemed to be all alone against the Mount Si players. In this shot, Gary was already to intercept the 65 ball. This time Joe was all alone when he put the ball through the hoop. WRESTLING TEAM: FIRST ROW: T. Gregg, R. Gatto, A. Kosko, R. Miller, J. Webster, J. Martinson. SECOND ROW: J. Doty, J. Toney, M. Cram, J. Arrants, G. Johnson, B. Flork, B. Berg. COACH, Mr. Needham Wrestling is a relatively new sport in our school, as this was only our second year of participation. Only three boys graduated last year, so most of the boys were back to try again. Because of the experience the boys gained last year, the coach, Mr. Need- ham, was not faced with as many problems as he had previously been. The team standings revealed a total of 3 wins and 8 losses. Ron Miller, a sophomore, was one of the outstanding wrest- lers this year. He represented White River at the District Tour- nament and took 4th place. He also participated in the State Tournament. Next year the team hopes to top this year's record and this could very well be done, as here will be many of the top wrestlers back. By the gritting of his teeth you can tell Rick is working hard. You will see John in this position many times on his way to pinning his opponent. 66 ‘£ z e aCC BASEBALL TEAM: FIRST ROW: J. Honsowetz, D. Pariari, R. Gatto, J. Hrinchak J. MacDonald. SECOND ROW: G. McCauley, J. Borell, J. DeLisa, D. Partin, D. ’ Williams, J. Oles, J. Kolisch. The mainspring of this year's team centered in the veterans, Dave Williams, pitcher, and Dwight Partin, catcher. Although the team was composed mostly of inexperienced players, Coach Blanusa was pleased with the results because competition was from the best schools in the state. A few of the newcomers were: Gary and Ted Collins, Jack Borell, Dave Pariari, Marlin Cram, Rick Gatto, Joe Kolisch, Gary McCauley, James Oles and Jim Mac Donald. All in all, next year's team has gained inval- uable experience from this year's play. 4? m.a (r S' % RETURNING LETTERMEN: D. Williams, D. Partin, J. Borell, R. Gatto. Coach Mr. Blanusa and Manager Jim Hrinchak. Pitcher, Dave Williams Jack saw a lot of action at the plate. Dwight was never without work either. With the return of several experienced letter winners and the hard-driving enthusiasm of the new players, the track team had a very rewarding year. Those returning lertermen were: Bruce Brewer, Gary Horton, Carl Smith and Johnny Cresto. Brewer's speciality was flying over the hurdles and Smith's was the 880. Coach Sambila also had much confidence in the ability of John Martinson at the 440 spot, and Ted Collins, Gary McCauley and Calvin Whitmore in the other events connected with track. John Martinson COACH, Mr. Sambila 6S Carl Smith Brace Brewer 07e utt4 Gordon Mills and John Kacer are two of the veterans returning for more Tennis action. They saw a lot of play this year. Marlene Heddrick and Shirley Melton played their last games with the White River Tennis team this year. Both girls did very well. Under the direction of the new tennis coach, Mr. Smetheram, the team fared as well as usual in competition with the various teams in the Seamount League. Mr. Smetheram stepped into the shoes of last year's coach, Mr. Morelli. The returning lettermen, who were the back bone of the team, were Marlene Heddrick, Shirley Melton, John Kacer, Gordon Mills, and Bill Johnson. All of these players were Seniors this year. Next year, since most of the team will have graduated, and new members will be relatively in-experienced. Despite this obstacle, prospects are bright as tennis is an avid interest for many student participants. COACH, Mr. Smetheram TENNIS TEAM: FIRST ROW: B. Johnson, G. Mills, R. Bolton, J. Toney, J.

This was a fair record considering the inexperi- ence of the team. The coach, Mr. Sambila, had almost all new material with which to work, as the only returning varsity player was Francis Baker. Although the opposing teams were rough and rugged, the Hornet team put up a good fight. They improved and gained valuable know how as the season progressed under the management of Steve Cresto and Donnie Robertson. Next year the football team can be expected to perform very creditably as a field-hardened team. FIRST STRING: FIRST ROW: D. Ross, J. Bolton, J. Person, B. Hyppa, M. Rooney, J. Honsowetz. SECOND ROW: F. Baker, L. Boyle, W. Gray, G. Schweikl, L. Holly, D. Waddell. The Junior High Basketball team ended a difficult season with two wins and five losses in league play. Coach Blanusa attributed these results to the stiff com- petition of the league and the inexperience of our team. The bright spot of the year was the defeat of North Thurston, the league champions, with a score of 28 to 25. Jack Honsowetz was leading scorer with an average of 7 points per game. Other good players were Mike Rooney and Bob Hyppa. The year ahead looks very promising with the return of some experienced eighth graders who, as the second string this year, won five games and lost five. Coach, Mr. Blanusa and Manager Jim Hrinchak. Another Coach, Len Long, was absent. SECOND STRING: FIRST ROW: C. Toney, D. Robertson, R. Zimbleman, M. Riley, T. Stock, R. Bowen, S. Emry, M. Vollmer. SECOND ROW: J. Roney, K. Annas, J. Madden, E.
